Help, I have a crush on my guy friend!
A new student came to my school six weeks ago. For the first two weeks, I started to talk with him. Afterwards, we started talking more often and he started looking out for me when I get hurt in PE, asking if I'm okay and that. A few weeks ago I realised my feelings for him, and I know this isn't like my former crushes, since I'm so much closer to him than I was with my old crushes, and the main thing I like about him is his kind and caring side for him. I talk with him more than I would with most boys, and I think it's the same with him for girls. We also share a knowing look every time something wild or chaotic happens in class. I don't know what to do!

The main thing to do when you have a crush on your friend is find out if they feel the same way. First, I would just initiate light physical contact. You have to start moving it from a conversational relationship to a physical one, by subtly doing things like hugging or leaning in closer to them.
Try something subtle, like when you're hanging out, lean in and whisper something funny, say they look great tonight, or tell them they smell really good. Just feel their vibes.
If it's hard to just be friends, then at that point you just have to lay it out. You can say, "I'm really starting to feel like there's something more between us" or, "I feel like maybe we should explore more of what we're feeling." When you take that risk, you have to ask yourself, is it worth ruining the friendship we have? And if the answer is yes, then you gotta take it, you got to go there, and then you have to follow that through.

It sounds like you've developed a strong connection with this new student, and it's natural to have feelings for someone who is kind and caring toward you. Since you already talk often and share a bond, you might consider getting to know him even better. Spend more time together, have deeper conversations, and see if he also shows signs of liking you back.
If you feel comfortable, you could drop small hints about your feelings or even express them in a casual way. You don't have to rush into anything—just enjoy the friendship and let things unfold naturally. If he feels the same way, it will become clearer over time. No matter what, cherish the connection you have and focus on building a meaningful relationship, whether as friends or something more.
